General Information.
ADMISSION AND ATTENDANCE.
Every applicant for admission must present evidence of good moral
character ; and if from any other institution, a certificate of honorable
dismission from the proper authorities.
All students in the University are required to attend daily prayers,
religious services on the Lord's day, and such exercises of instruction
and recitation as may be assigned to them.
Students regularly advanced with their classes in the courses of
study are required to return promptly to the University at the opening
of the session.
AID AND SELF-SUPPORT.
Lincoln University was founded to bring the benefits of a liberal
Christian education within the reach of worthy colored youth of the
male sex.
This end is promoted here, by providing convenient buildings for
study and residence, where young men who comply with the conditions
of admission are welcomed and made comfortable, and by the diligent
training of the students in all the parts of such an education.
All the income of the Institution, from endowment and from
annual contributions, is used in favor of the students to keep the neces-
sary charges for instruction and for living down to the lowest possible
figure, so as to bring the benefits provided here within the reach of all
who are willing to combine self-support with aid.
In other institutions of like grade the annual expenses of a student
are not less than $250.
In this Institution the college bill is only $121.50.
Every charge in the college bill is essential. If the full amount is
not paid by the students or for them, the benevolent funds supplied by
the friends of the work must be divided among a smaller number.
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.
Any student using more than his necessities require, is taking funds for
his own selfish uses, to which others have a right for their mental and
spiritual improvement. His expensive or wasteful habits keep some
other young man in ignorance, and prevent perhaps a better workman
than himself from entering the harvest field. To take any amount of
such benevolent funds in excess of strict necessity is selfish and dis-
honest. No good man will gratify his own pride or indolence at
the expense of another man's usefulness. No student could be regarded
as a friend of the colored people who would for his own enjoyment
hinder other willing workers from the fitness which would give them
success.
Each student is under obligations of fairness, and honor, and
honesty, and also of benevolence, to do all he can to support himself,
and thus aid others who are equally with himself deserving of en-
couragement.
PERSONAL EXPENSES.
An exact estimate of the personal expenses of a 'student, above
what is included in the session bills, cannot be made.
He must have Text Books for each year of the course.
He must have a lamp, and supply it with oil, to add the evenings
to the days of study.
The purchase and repair of clothing is a recurring necessity.
He cannot travel to and from the University without money to pay
his fare.
If he becomes sick, there is the doctor's bill and the expense of
medicine.
The Literary Societies justly require annual contributions.
The University cannot aid the student in these expenses, either by
gifts or loans.
It is not the purpose of its patrons to relieve the student from the
necessity of making provision for his own personal wants.
Herein especially they exact his co-operation.
Each student must provide beforehand to meet them, or they will
distress him.
His indifference, or carelessness, procures and deserves his suffering.
He should carefully estimate them, and write them down, and sum
them up, and keep the aggregate before his thoughts.
And besides securing home assistance, he should be industrious in
8 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.
his vacations, to increase his honest earnings in every lawful way, and
should honorably save them for these uses. To spend his earnings in
superfluities, or in extravagancies, is to squander them, and to barter
his education for his enjoyments.
After every effort and economy he will not escape the discipline of
want. In enduring this discipline he is practicing a virtue.
A manly struggle will help to subdue pride and prevent beg-
garliness.
In a student struggling with poverty for an education, any luxurious
indulgence is a disabling vice. He must conquer it, or it will cripple
him in his equipments and in his powers.
His wise friends may sympathize with him in his trials, but they
will not excuse him from the acquisition of self-denial and thereby of
self-control.
The common judgment is that he who will not endure the
TRIAL IS NOT WORTH THE HELP.
Many benevolent friends of the Negro are co-operating with the
Trustees and Faculty in providing aid for those who will use their
education for the good of others. Careful discrimination is exercised
in directing this aid to individuals, so as not to weaken the sense of
personal responsibility and self-reliance. Those who can pay their
own bills have only to comply with the regulations, and they will be
admitted to the standing in the classes for which their previous training
has fitted them ; but no earnest young man of good abilities and good
moral character should be discouraged from seeking the advantages
which are here offered. Applicants should apply for admission to the
President, or to some member of the Faculty, and state in their appli-
cation their purpose in seeking an education, what progress they have
made in study, and their ability to meet the expenses of education.
BOARDING.
The students board in clubs, or in boarding-houses adjacent to the
University. The cost of board cannot be fixed at an unvarying rate
from year to year. During the current year board and washing have
been furnished for nine dollars per month.
LIBRARY.
The Library contains about eleven thousand volumes, and about
four thousand magazines and miscellaneous pamphlets.
Since the last catalogue was published two thousand two hundred

REGULATIONS.
The course of study in the Collegiate Department occupies four
years.
Applicants for the Freshman Class must be at least fifteen years of
age. They will be examined in Spelling, English Grammar, Composi-
tion of simple sentences, Geography, History of the United States.
Arithmetic, Mental and Written.
Latin Grammar, and Lessons.
Greek Grammar, and Lessons.
Candidates for advanced standing will be examined in the studies
previously pursued by the class which they propose to enter.
The Academical year is divided into two sessions. At the end of
each session public examinations of all the classes are held. Absence
from an examination, except for sufficient reason, sustained by vote of
the Faculty, will be regarded as a serious delinquency, and cannot be
made good by any subsequent examination. No student can be
continued in full standing in his class who does not pass all these
examinations.
At the close of each year all the classes are examined, either orally
or in writing, in the studies of that year.
The final examination of the Sophomore class includes the studies
of the Freshman year as well as those of the current year. Members
of the Sophomore class found deficient in general scholarship at this
examination will not be advanced to the Junior class in full standing,
and will not be entitled to the degree of A. B. at the close of
the course.
Graduates from the Collegiate Department must be able to take a
Teacher's Diploma. (See page 19.)
The rank of a student in his class depends on his grade in his
recitations and examinations ; on his punctuality and constancy in
attendance upon all exercises of instruction ; and on his deportment
in all his relations as a student.
At the close of the Senior year the members of the Senior class
are examined in the studies of the whole course.
In determining the final rank of a Senior his grade in the final
Senior examination is combined with the final grades of the previous
collegiate years.
16 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.

Special honorary orations are assigned, at the discretion of the
Faculty, to members of the Senior class who may have excelled in
particular branches of study.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.
The student on entering the Freshman class must be well acquainted
with the essentials of English Grammar. The first half of the Fresh-
man year is devoted to review of syntax and exercises in parsing and
analysis of sentences. The elements of rhetoric are then taught, and,
at the end of the Freshman year, the student must be able to write
English correctly and in good literary style.
The principles of philology are taught at the beginning of the
Sophomore year and made familiar by the critical study of English
classics. Bunyan, Milton and Shakespeare are taken as representative
English authors, and their works are studied with the care usually be-
stowed on the Latin and Greek classics. This study of English classics
extends over the whole of the Sophomore and Junior years, and is kept
in close connection with a thorough course in rhetoric and philology.
During the Senior year the history of English literature is studied
by text book and direct acquaintance with the standard literature of
all ages. During the whole course, essays, reviews and criticisms are
required very frequently.
ENGLISH COURSE.
Many young men do not desire, and cannot take, a course of study
in the Latin and Greek Languages, to fit them for the duties of the
school-room and the ministry. For their training, the Faculty has
established a course of study in the English Branches, including a
selection of topics in Natural Science.
This English Course includes many of the studies of the Collegiate
Course, with some special subjects intended to prepare the students for
the work and the responsibilities of teaching, and for the further study
of Theology. It is not an elementary, but an advanced course, in the
subjects studied. The students will recite either with the Collegiate
Classes, or in special classes, as the Professors may judge most con-
ducive to the end proposed. They must be able, as they advance, to
appreciate the higher topics in Rhetoric, Philosophy, Mathematics and
Physical Science.

Candidates for admission to this course must pass a thorough
examination in Arithmetic, Geography, and in the essentials of English
Grammar; and especially in Reading and Spelling. During the
course they will be thoroughly trained in English Grammar and
Composition.
The final examinations of this course will be held six months after
the close of the second year ; thus offering ample time for thorough
review of all the branches studied in the course. This review will be
conducted under the direction and supervision of the Faculty, but
during this time residence at the University will not be required.
Students adjudged successful in the final examinations will receive
a Teacher's Diploma, marking the degree of their success. A grade
from 95 to 100 will entitle the student to a Diploma of the first rank;
from 85 to 95, to a Diploma of the second rank ; from 75 to 85, to a
Diploma of the third rank. Students not attaining a grade of 75 will
not receive a Diploma.

A New Chair of Instruction in Lincoln University.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Lincoln University,
it was unanimously resolved :
I. That we hereby establish a Chair of Instruction in the Theo-
logical Department to be called in the records of the University
" The Chair of Instruction in the English Version of the Bible/' and
that among the duties of this Chair shall be :
The giving of instruction in the subject of Versions of the Sacred
Scriptures, including English Versions, and especially the Authorized
Version.
A course of instruction in the Historical Contents of the Old and
New Testaments.
A course of instruction in the different forms of Sacred Literature
contained in the Several Books.
A special Course of instruction in the Prophecies of the Bible.
II. The design of the Board of Trustees in establishing this Chair
is to secure that no student shall be graduated from the Theological
Department of this institution without acquiring a thorough knowledge
of the Bible in the English language.
To this end the Board of Trustees enjoins it upon the Faculty of
Theology to require the students under the direction of the incumbent
of this Chair to read the whole "Bible carefully and studiously, and to
commit to memory such passages as may be assigned to them with this
design.
CHURCH HISTORY.
Middle Year. — Text Books, Kurtz & Smith. Study the history of
the Church from the Apostolic times until the 14th Century.
Senior Year. — From the 14th Century down to the present time.
28 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.
SACRED RHETORIC.
The purpose of this department is two-fold : First, to form in the
mind of the student a high and correct ideal of gospel preaching. To
this end he is first made familiar with the theory of preaching, using
Dr. Broadus' " Preparation and Delivery of Sermons," as a text-book.
He is then required to study the lives and work of some of the great
preachers of ancient and modern times, and to write reviews of the
same. In connection with this work he is made acquainted with the
standard hymns of the Church, with their history and authorship.
Second; to cultivate the best means of reaching this ideal. The
student is trained to write in a clear and simple style. He is next
required to analyze texts assigned to him, and to construct skeletons
of sermons. At the beginning of the second year, some book of the
New Testament is selected, the whole book analyzed, and a number of
sermons written during the year covering the whole contents of the
book. In assigning these subjects, care is taken to give opportunity
for exercise in expository sermonizing, as well as topical and textual.
During the Senior year, the students are required to preach without
manuscript.
COMMENCEMENT.
On the day of Commencement the candidates for the degree of
S. T. B. deliver addresses, at the discretion of the Faculty of Theology.
Students not taking this degree may also be appointed to deliver
addresses on Commencement day. After the exercises of public
speaking, the President of the University will confer the degrees
which have been authorized by the Board of Trustees.
The Annual Sermon for the year 1887, was preached by the
Rev. Francis L. Bobbins, D. D., on the 17th day of April.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES, 1887.

THE ENGLISH THEOLOGICAL COURSE.
In the year 1876 the Board of Trustees of Lincoln University
addressed the following memorial and overture to the General Assem-
bly of the Presbyterian Church :
"The Board of Trustees of Lincoln University, deeply interested
in the condition of the Freedmen, and convinced that their continued
destitution of an authorized educated ministry is a reproach to the
Church and a source of danger to the country, respectfully urge the
General Assembly to devise and adopt some practical plan to supply
this want; and overture the Assembly to consider and act upon the
following propositions :
"First. — Resolved, That this Assembly recognize it as the impera-
tive duty of the Church to send the Gospel to the Freedmen without
delay.
"Second. — That while in the considerate judgment of this Assembly
the regulations embodied in the fourteenth chapter of the Form of
Government respecting the trial of candidates for licensure are an
authoritative guide to Presbyteries in determining their qualifications,
they do not supersede the discretion of the Presbyteries in the respon-
sibility of committing the ministry of the word to faithful men.
"Third. — That all Presbyteries providentially brought into rela-
tions with the Freedmen be hereby advised to license all colored men
of whose call to preach the gospel they may be satisfied, and whose
training and abilities they may deem sufficient to qualify them for this
sacred work.
"Fourth. — That the Board of Education be instructed to assume
in behalf of the Church the pecuniary responsibility of educating in
a thorough course of Theological studies in the English language all
colored candidates for the ministry recommended to their care by the
Presbyteries."
To this memorial and overture the Assembly returned the following
answer :
"First. — The Assembly has no authority to modify the regulations
of our form of government in respect to qualifications of licentiates, so
as to make provision for any class of exceptional cases. At the same
time the Assembly recognizes the propriety of the exercise, by Pres-
byteries, of a wise discretion in their administration of the functions
intrusted to them by the Church, in view of the great work to be
done by our Church among the colored people in this country. The
Assembly specially accords such discretion to those Presbyteries which
30 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.
are providentially brought into special relations to that work ; mean-
while, in view of the experience of several years, enjoining upon such
Presbyteries the obligation to take great care lest incompetent or
unworthy men be admitted into the ministry of our Church.
" Second. — This General Assembly does not deem it wise to modify
the existing rules governing the Board of Education in the aiding of
candidates for the ministry in our Church. The Assembly, however,
earnestly commends the exceptional cases, referred to in the overture,
to the sympathy and charity of the Churches, and trust that the friends
of our work among the Freedmen will suffer no worthy young man,
devoting himself to that work, to fail for lack of pecuniary aid." —
Minutes of the General Assembly, 1876.
This answer of the General Assembly virtually affirms the first
proposition, that it is the duty of the Church to send the Gospel to the
Freedmen without delay. The Assembly specially accords to particular
Presbyteries discretion. in licensing, as preachers of the Gospel, candi-
dates who have been exercised in a thorough course of Theological
studies in the English language, according to the second and third
propositions. And although the Assembly did not instruct the Board
of Education to adopt a wider policy in supporting colored candidates
for the ministry, its past policy, which has been liberal, was not
restricted. The education of colored men in a thorough course of
Theological studies in the English language was commended by the
Assembly to the sympathies and charity of the Churches and friends
of our work among the Freedmen.
The English course in the Theological Department occupies two
years. It embraces the same studies as the full course with the excep-
tion of the Greek and Hebrew Scriptures.
ECCLESIASTICAL RELATIONS.
By the charter of Lincoln University the Theological Department
is placed under the care of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, in conformity with the general plan adopted for the supervi-
sion of Theological Seminaries. The General Assembly, which met in
Chicago in May, 1871, accepted the oversight of the Theological
Department of Lincoln University, as provided in the charter, and
approved the appointments and proceedings of the Board of Trustees,
as reported at that time. The laws of Lincoln University require that
any action of the Board of Trustees affecting the Theological Depart-
ment shall be reported to the General Assembly by the Secretary of
the Board. The Faculty of Theology is also required to prepare for

32 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.
Qeneral statement.
Lincoln University is in Chester county, Pennsylvania, half a
mile from Lincoln University station, on the Philadelphia and Balti-
more Central railroad. That part of Chester county in which the
University is situated, is notably free from malarial and pulmonary
diseases. The Institution is well removed from associations which
tend to prevent high literary attainments and hinder the formation of
a high moral character. The post-office, where the Professors should
be addressed, is LINCOLN UNIVERSITY,
Chester County, Pa.
The corporate title of this Institution, is "The Lincoln Univer-
sity." Bequests intended to promote the work of this University will
be legally valid under that title.
The first charter of this Institution was granted by the State of
Pennsylvania, under the title of "Ashmun Institute," in 1854. In
1866, the title was changed by amendment of the charter to "The
Lincoln University." The Theological Department was by
another change of the charter in 1871, placed under the control of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church.
The property of Lincoln University consists of land, buildings
and endowments.
LAND.
Seventy-five acres in Lower Oxford, Pa.
BUILDINGS.
Ashmun Hall contains dormitories for forty-eight students ; a
recitation room for the preparatory students ; and rooms for a board-
ing club.
Lincoln Hall contains dormitories for fifty-six students ; the
society halls, and the Janitor's apartments.
Cresson Hall contains dormitories for seventy students ; the
library and reading-room, and the chemical laboratory.
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY. 33
University Hall contains eight recitation rooms. This Hall
is one wing of a building, which, when finished, will supply accommo-
dations for the whole work of instruction.
Houston Hall contains dormitories and study-rooms for thirty-
five students, and the room for the Theological and Missionary Society.
Livingstone Hall is for commencement assemblies, and will
seat one thousand persons. The middle section has been fitted up
temporarily for a chapel.
There are seven residences for the Professors.
The whole work of Lincoln University needs immediate enlarge-
ment. A small comparative addition to her funds would greatly
increase her power for usefulness. The attention of considerate friends
is invited to the following special wants :
The endowment of the chair of Instruction in the English Ver-
sion of the Bible.
The endowment of the chair of Hebrew in the Theological De-
partment.
The establishment of a chair of Church History and of General
History.
The establishment of a chair of Mental and Moral Science.
The erection of an additional wing to University Hall, to provide
rooms for the instruction of the classes in Natural Science, and of the
Preparatory Students.
The erection of a chapel for the Sabbath and daily devotional
services.
The erection of two additional residences for Professors.
The provision by endowment for the care and improvement of the
property of the University.
The endowment of Scholarships for the perpetual education of
worthy young men whose diligence, talents and piety give promise of
usefulness.
The erection of another dormitory for the accommodation of stu-
dents in the Theological Department.
Immediate provision for the preservation, enlargement and use of
the Library.
Among the instrumentalities through which the friends of the
Negro may convey to him the blessings of education, Lincoln Uni-
versity especially deserves the confidence of the Christian public. She
was the first to enter this field, when there was no other to undertake
the work. Lincoln University was chartered in 1854. She is still

doing a large share of the higher work. Worthy applicants are
knocking at our doors, eager for the benefits here afforded. Who will
say to us, u Turn no worthy man away who desires an education for
the sake of the good he can do with it?"
Five hundred young men have been sent out from the Preparatory
Department and from the lower classes of the Collegiate Department,
many of whom are engaged in important positions as teachers in the
Southern States.
Three hundred have been graduated from the Collegiate Depart-
ment, after a course of instruction extending through four and in
many cases six years. Most of these graduates are engaged in pro-
fessional and educational labors in the Southern States.
More than one hundred of the students of Lincoln University have
received ordination as ministers in the several Evangelical Protestant
denominations.
Ten of our students have gone to Africa as missionaries of the cross.
Six have laid down their lives in that work. Six are now laboring
there as teachers, and ministers. Eight young men from Liberia are
now in the University.
The University is consecrated to the glory of God and the good of
man. It has received the endorsement of all who are acquainted with
its work. The friends of the education of "colored youth" are
cordially invited to investigate its plans and operations, and to co-
operate with its officers in conferring the benefits of a liberal and
Christian culture on those who prize and so much need this blessing.
